since i upgraded to 4.3-stable a couple days ago, ive been having lockup 
problems since then...
about every 10 hours or so the box locks solid...
before it locks up though, it gets swap pager errors, ill put the lines from 
the log file (/var/log/messages) in here, notice the times they happen...

Apr 30 05:00:15 inexistent /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space
Apr 30 05:00:15 inexistent /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed

Apr 30 15:05:21 inexistent /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
Apr 30 15:05:21 inexistent last message repeated 24 times

Apr 30 22:40:22 inexistent /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
Apr 30 22:40:22 inexistent last message repeated 117 times

May  1 08:00:20 inexistent /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space
May  1 08:00:20 inexistent /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed

and this is where it sits now...

is there an exploit that causes this or what?

when it locks up, the cpu usage shoots up to 100%, and the harddrive goes 
crazy (writing im assuming) for about 15 seconds before it locks solid.

the swap size in that box is 250mb... i have 96mb of ram in that box... but 
this has never caused a problem before... i think the harddrive goes like 
crazy cause its all of a sudden filling up the swap, then it gets too full 
and locks...

if anyway could help me as soon as possible, id really appreciate it, thanks
